Hearing Ai Li's words, Cao Dabiao slowly rolled down the car window and asked warily, "Attendant Office Third Division?"
Ai Li nodded, took out her credentials, and handed them over.
Cao Dabiao accepted the credentials with both hands and examined them carefully. He even ran his fingers over the embossed steel seal.
After confirming that they really were Attendant Office credentials, Cao Dabiao hurriedly returned them to Ai Li, then saluted with a fawning smile. "Hello, Superior!"
As an extension of Huang Shangzong's authority as Speaker of the Assembly, the Attendant Office wielded immense power.
Not only did it have the authority to investigate cases and supervise local areas, but it could also urgently mobilize local armed forces to assist investigations while carrying out missions.
Therefore, if they discovered something suspicious during a mission and conducted a routine inspection, that was perfectly normal.
Ai Li took back her credentials, then expressionlessly inspected the sedan. Looking at Cao Dabiao, she said sternly, "Which department are you from? What mission are you carrying out? Why is there a Calamity Power reaction in the car?"
Hearing Ai Li's words, Cao Dabiao said ingratiatingly, "Hello, Superior."
"We're a joint operation team from the Investigation Department. By order of Deputy Director Qiu Tu, we're transferring an important piece of material to the Security Department."
"I'm the team leader for this operation, Cao Dabiao, Chief of the Publicity Section under the Administrative Office of the Investigation Department. This is Chen Feng, Chief of the Political Department Supervision Section, and this is—"
As Cao Dabiao introduced them, Ai Li's gaze moved across the people in the car.
Very quickly, her attention settled on the small black box Chen Feng had been holding on his lap.
The little black box was made of black iron and exquisitely crafted.
